I think you've forgotten how much Hexakill increases the load times with just 2 extra players. 6 extra players you'd be lucky to load at all!

Perhaps it doesn't need to be an 8v8

A new map in general would just be hype enough.

Or map skins.

Map Skins I'm completely behind. Absolutely loved Butchers Bridge.

New maps...
League of Legends maps boil down to # of lanes and # of jungles.

  • 1 Lane, 0 Jungle = Howling Abyss
  • 2 Lanes, 1 Jungle = Twisted Treeline
  • 3 Lanes, 2 Jungles = Summoner's Rift

You're basically forced into making a 4 lane, 3 jungle map if you want something different, but even then that might not be worth it. After all, how many of us play Twisted Treeline regularly? Twisted Treeline also shows that additional objectives on the map aren't enough to make it interesting.

FPS games are allowed infinite variety in their maps because of the number of variables they can change. Heroes of the Storm was designed from the ground up for each map to be centered around neutral objectives, but League wasn't. League is designed around the lanes. You can remove neutral objectives completely and still have the same experience in League, but not so with HotS.

For those reasons, I don't think we'll ever get a new map.

Well we don't need a new map. Anyways. I agree..

But yea I wish for map skins..

I want a harrowing/snow down experiance.

Maybe we could have a gladiator arena or foggy swamp with 2v2v2 or FFA matches. But that will require a fairly large map

It would be really nice to have a 5v5 with 2 lanes and 3 jungles.

Also, heroes of the storm kinda failed, basically showing how difficult it is to have multiple maps if even possible.

8v8 wont work with only 3 lanes... unless its stupidly huge.

8v8? Where did you ever hear that? The first Magma chamber talked about in 2010 was another 5v5 map, that was later reworked into Dominion. http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Magma_Chamber

idk why but if my memory is not wrong it was clearly 8v8 3-2-2 and jungle but i guess it was a 5v5 :/

Another reskin of Proving Grounds? I mean we already got Howling Abyss, Butcher's Bridge, Murder Bridge

So yeah how bout Ionian Bridge? Or Noxian Bridge? or maybe Runeterian bridge that unifies all bridges. Or maybe Bridgian Bridge like Mundo Mundo Skin :3

The only problem is unless the mode is awesome, no one would play it :/

Deppengu1 votes

mode? this is not a mode this would be a normal map

GULAG 4 U1 votes

Well there aren't a lot of TT players other than bots running it down top?

From what the rest of the comments have said, this was originally planned to be a bigger 5v5 map but was later reworked down to 1v1 and 2v2 before being removed completely. If the original 5v5 map variant came out it would probably garner more attention considering it would be a 5v5 alternative to Summoners Rift.

Well I would def like it if it was live, but idk if I would really play it.

I'd be down for another map period, though I don't think that'll ever happen. A map with a reskin to match this idea (the cave and then the lava area) would be cool though.

Deppengu3 votes

this map would actualy be so big that there were 4 portals to teleport around the map :)

AuraCreed1 votes

Ooo that leaves a level of play all on it's own. Use the pads enough and all you gotta do is keep those warded (and I'd guess you'd only be able to port around your side of the jungle with em anyway but it's still cool).

I thought it was a 2v2 map originally.

It was a 2v2 originally. Not sure where the 8v8 came from.

no, it wasnt, it was a 5v5 map.

riot made a completely different map, and named it magma chamber and said they "reworked" the original concept. but thats not even close to the truth, the truth is they didnt want to put in the work into making a new map, so they just reskinned howling abyss called it magma chamber and said that it was what they were working on all along.

Mhihnj1 votes

oh ok

Magma Chamber was a 1v1 map.

Riot cancelled it because "Snowdown Showdown only took up 1% of the average players playtime".

Really flawed reasoning. That gamemode only lasted 3-5 minutes, so of course it wouldn't take up as much gametime as something like SR, which can take anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes.

Deppengu1 votes

no magma chamber was not 1v1 orginaly

riot reworked it to the 1v1 2v2 map idk why tho..

everyone is bored by map diversity 90% summoners rift 7% aram 3% 3v3

Same amount of camps and lanes.... 8 people.... I would prefer not to play on a map with 3 laners and a jungler and then 4 support/roamers. It's pretty obvious most of the community doesn't like playing support, so a map with 4 people per team being starved of EXP and gold(aka support) would be a tough pill to swallow for most people.
